Favale's proposal envisions a high-risk, high-reward future for both franchises. San Antonio would form a dynamic trio with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Wembanyama, and newly-acquired guard De'Aaron Fox. Favale described the potential core as 'equal parts terrifying and championship-caliber.'
Giannis' Stellar Career with the Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 15th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, has spent his entire career in Milwaukee. Over the years, he has grown into one of the most dominant forces in league history. A two-time MVP and one-time Finals MVP, Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to the 2021 NBA Championship, defeating the Phoenix Suns in six games.
Despite that peak, Milwaukee has struggled in recent seasons. The Bucks have only one playoff series win since their championship run and were recently eliminated in the first round by the
Indiana Pacers
for the second straight year.

A member of the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team, Antetokounmpo has career averages of 23.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks.
His legacy is already secure, but uncertainty looms after the Bucks waived All-Star guard Damian Lillard, adding more instability to an already fragile situation.
What This Means for the San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs have long been preparing for their next dynasty following the Tim Duncan–Tony Parker–Manu Ginóbili era. With 2023's No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama already looking like a generational talent, pairing him with a proven superstar like Antetokounmpo could instantly make San Antonio a title contender.
Favale noted, 'Getting him there is all that matters,' underscoring the franchise-altering potential of this trade.

While Giannis Antetokounmpo has not formally requested a trade, the league is closely watching Milwaukee's next move. Should the superstar become available, the San Antonio Spurs are one of the few teams with the assets and ambition to make a serious play. With Wembanyama, Fox, and possibly Giannis forming a new-age superteam, the NBA landscape could shift dramatically in the near future.
